Seems _controller.dispatchEvent(YourEvent) should work.

Or, I assume you're not using any event framework like Parsley or Swiz, your _controller should be kind of root in the component tree:

Application
    IControlManager(_controller)
        HBox
            YourComponent

When you dispatch an bubbling event in YourComponent, your _controller will be possible to invoke corresponding listeners.

From your code I can see you're listening events of _controller but the object which dispatches event isn't _controller but this.
